    in Egg Script Comment by Theo May 2022
  • Rom said: Pawain said: If you think someone is scripting PAGE A GM! Do like others do, get ahead of them and take the eggs first. Make them admit what they are doing in overhead chat.  If you need help on how to annoy someone to the …
  • I just wish the dev team would admit what we know to be true - they literally can't afford to ban scripters since this game is basically abandonware so every one might as well script up.  UO has become battle of the bots. 
  • TimSt said: You just need to be smarter than the scripters.  Find out which spawn spots they hit and in which order. When you see them at a particular spot recall to their next spot before they do and gather the eggs there.  That is what I do…
  • Lord_Frodo said: popps said: All that is necessary, at least to my opinion, to make RMT sites not worth the effort and the hassle, is for UO Developers to make any and all items to be MUCH LESS time consuming to be obtained. Sadly …
  • If you have 125 items in your pack you can do the quest but you won’t get the reward (the calc is run on your current item count not count after turning 10 in). Seems like the scripters sometimes mess up and try to turn in with 125 items.  One did t…
  • McDougle said: Or sell them in the uo store for less no profit no rmt I'm totally on board with this.  Items of the Fey event - turn in points or buy via Sovereigns for 5-250 sovereigns depending on 'point' value'.    I'd much rat…
  • Seth said: When players on a shard are staunch supporters of shard bound, look at Atlantic. They are far from dead. They have not seen truly dead shards who will never get to see any of the shard bound items in future. Not true - scripts …
  • Pawain said: Seth said: If every game design objective in UO is targeted against bots and scripters at the expense of normal players, then it will never be fun. Unfortunately this is UO. Very sad. Well if they are designing ag…
  • The flag should be reset when you recall or use a moongate.  You've left the area of battle. There is no sense in not allowing someone to log out.   I get attacked by a mongbat. I kill said mongbat. I recall home.  I am in a timeout until my next to…
  • McDougle said: The continued silence from the developers is a joke at this point.. They literally can’t afford to ban players at this point.  It’s super simple to find the scripters if you wanted.   There are plenty of ways to automate the…
  • Marge said: I use them daily have thought many times of this. Just a simple little box added to the sorting options would make it so much easier. It would reallly help too with tailoring's "shirt" \ "skirt" eye strain nightmare. Also, I am s…
  • Pawain said: Theo said: Yup it’s because of poor coding.  When the code runs to drop non insured items in your corpse it doesn’t do all containers first. It runs all cursed first.  It’s totally stupid.  So if you have a container like …

  • Hera_Siege said: @ Mariah - Nice!  Would have been awesome if the GM I paged had directed me to that page...  Guess not a bug for the release portion either.   What would be really nice is if all house add ons worked the same.  Some you ax…
  • Thank you so much for all your service over the years.   In the days before vendor search and auction safes - this was the very best place to go for rares and other items both as a seller and a buyer.  Those high priced items that you coudln't affo…
  • Looks like they got the stats updated - the search is working better now.  Returns in a reasonable amount.  If this is the issue when setup a script to run every day to update the indexing statistics daily.    If you need DBA help let me know. Its …
  • No surprise.  They always add new items and forget to make the smeltable. Its a common issue.  The people creating items don't understand crafting.    Wait like 9 publishes and maybe it gets fixed. 
  • Does anyone care?  Honestly.  A simple search on Great Lakes for 'Horned Runic' barely comes back after 2 minutes.   Barbed Runic times out.    Seriously. Index the database already. Do you need help?  This is like data management 101. 
  • dvvid said: Pawain said: Some of us like the randomness so we can get higher properties. Risk - Reward. If you don't like random stick with baby properties and Imbue.  @ McDougle Some of us find it fun to roll the dice and see wha…
  • dvvid said: Higher charge capacity would be great.  I never realize how much it frustrates me more than when I play on Test Center with runics with 30,000 charges. I can just keep crafting and not worry about 'oh darn, i need 6 charges an…
  • Its hard to keep up and frustrating that there are SO many flavors.  They really should have made quantity 15 for everything so its easier to match them up. You wouldn't have to save so many to fill things.  It used to be a thing to collect and swap…
  • The pet has to be bonded. 
  • I have over 35,000 and still collecting.  When you do a large you combine 5-7 bods and only get one back.  Thats the only way to bring the number down.  ;-) 
  • For this event the way to go was the Semhidar spawn in Fel.  On Great Lakes we did it about 3-4 times per hour.  Depending on the ppl there you would get at least 4-5 per spawn if not more.  At least 20 per hour.  I only did this event for the last …
  • @Kyronix @Bleak @Mesanna Can someone confirm if Imbuing SOT's and SOA are supposed to drop in Tmaps?  Because currently they don't.   Other crafting skills do - imbuing not so much.   If not then why?  Bug or developer decision?

  • Clearly EJ is a completely failed experiment. Just drop it already.  Its not bringing new players to the game and the limitations put on it to keep it from being abused by paying players makes it useless.  Just undo it already.  They clearly don't k…
  • Pawain said: Or don't mess with the spaces and you can write over the name in CC.  I wasn't asking for a work around - I'm asking why you can add spaced in EC but not CC. Bad coding. Should be fixed.  There is no reason I can't name my pet…

  • To add to the list... 5 - Why do pets spawn with a space in their names like 'a cu sidhe' but then you can't rename them with a space??  Why the limitation?  If I don't keep it a 3 name pet like 'A White Dog' you can never make it three names again…
